DALY BEAUTY: Banish Future Blemishes & Hide The Ones You Have With Vichy

Banish Future Blemishes & Hide The Ones You Have With Vichy



I am recent lover of Vichy skincare. After Vichy proEVEN pretty much changed my life and my life and my skin, I have a lot of faith in what Vichy can do for me. Since using Vichy proEVEN my skin tone has changed to the point where my poor concealer collection is gathering dust.  I used to have spots left behind from blemishes that seemed to last forever. I was covering up all the time. Vichy proEVEN has made that unnecessary. I can say honestly as well, that every woman I have recommended proEVEN to have told me the same thing. Usually within the first week of use, they see a dramatic difference.



I do love to use a mask and scrub for my pores still, however. I like a deep cleansing mud-type mask, and I like a scrub that is not too abrasive. Enter Vichy Normaderm Tri-Activ Mask. The website says "a triple action mask that cleanses, exfoliates and mattifies. A formula associating a high concentration of clay, ''peeling'' ingredients and a soothing agent.". And it's true. I don't get irritated or red from using it, and my skin feels baby soft. I like to put it on before the shower and let it dry, then use gentle circular scrubbing motions to rinse it off 10 minutes later in the shower. Use it as a cleanser to thoroughly yet gently eliminate sebum/impurities without drying skin. It also unclogs pores to help reduce blackheads/whiteheads and evens out skin tone. Use it as a mask, and it draws out impurities, as it is enriched with 25% natural clay to remove excess sebum to clarify complexion

The emphasis on this product, besides the efficacy of it, is the gentle formulation. It's hypoallergenic, soap & paraben-free, and made with the famous Vichy thermal spa water. I love it now, but I know I'm going to love it even more in the summer. 

The only concealer I use is one under my eyes, and one to cover the occasional evil zit that decides to set up shop on my face. And the one I am using for that is, big surprise, Vichy Normaderm Anti-Imperfection Stick. My friend uses it and told me she loves it's mattifying qualities as well the fact it is medicated to help up those zits. It's in a nifty twist-up pencil format, which makes it perfect for the purse. The colour is supposed to be universal, which is a bit of a stretch. It's on the darker side, yet not dark enough for a dark complexion. It works for me, and I can dab a little powder on top to lighten it. If I am using self tanner or in the summer, the colour is perfect. It actually helps dry up the little zits without drying out the skin. Most medicated concealers contain so much stuff they dry out the skin, and non-medicated ones can clog pores. Vichy Normaderm Stick is just right. My 16 year old uses on her acne as well and really likes it.

Vichy is available at Canadian drugstores: the Tri-Activ Mask is around $20 for 125ml and the stick is around $15. Vichy Tri-Activ Mask will be available in the US August 2012.

I love me a good mask and this one sounds kind of awesome! And I've always wondered about that Anti-Imperfection Stick. Must check these out soon. I think Vichy and La Roche-Posay are so underrated. Their products are really good!

I'm totally with you Jane & Tracy. I had a real skin freak out this spring. It just exploded with oil and became spottier than it ever was when I was a teenager. I tried so many different things to clear it but it just got worse and worse. Eventually I tried the Vichy Normaderm day and night moisturisers along with rigorous daily face washing and it cleared up. I was mightily relieved. I'll have to try that stick now, on the little spots that pop up occasionally.
